In the mountains in the distance, there was a sudden thunder formation.
Immediately afterwards, a figure covered in blood suddenly emerged from the mountain, looking up to the sky and laughing, "Hahahaha, I succeeded, I succeeded, I finally succeeded!"
That was a young man who had lost all his limbs, but the look on his face was one of sincere happiness.
At this point, Ling Xiao finally understood why this array courtyard had the fewest disciples among the four courtyards, and... very few people were willing to take the initiative to join.
"Sir, why don't we go back? Behind the scenes of the formation...is also regarded as a forbidden area by our school disciples."
Li Zhichu gave a bitter laugh, always worried that several formation disciples would suddenly appear next to her, laughing and using formation techniques to kill her.
"It doesn't matter, he fell into it because of a crazy demon. It seems that the master of the formation is also a man of temperament."
Ling Xiao smiled gently and looked up at the top of the mountain.
Different from the Confucian Academy, the mountain peak where this courtyard is located does not have neatly arranged golden palaces. Instead, it is filled with dense fog, which makes it look... indeed a bit eerie.
At this time, on the top of the mountain, an old man was sitting cross-legged in the pavilion, looking at a chess game by himself, seemingly not noticing the arrival of the two people at all.
Ling Xiao smiled and took the first step towards the top of the mountain.
Behind him, Li Zhichu hesitated slightly, but finally raised his foot and followed him.
Until the two of them stepped onto the top of the mountain, Zhongtu still didn't raise his head to look at the two of them, but just stared at the chessboard attentively.
Ling Xiao was not in a hurry and stood beside the old man with his hands behind his hands, looking at the chess game in front of him.
Although Ling Xiao is not proficient in chess, when he was in Shengzhou, he changed the Go program in the system.
How can these fantasy natives compare to the extraordinary events that have gathered for five thousand years?
"This chess game and the formation are all one step away, and the world changes. I wonder if Young Master Ling Xiao has studied this way?"
Zhongtu held a piece in his hand, seemed hesitant, and suddenly raised his head to look at Ling Xiao.
In those eyes, there are two colors of black and white, showing many mysteries.
"In front of Zhongyuan, this junior cannot be said to have studied deeply, but only has a slight understanding."
Ling Xiao's expression was calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Oh? I understand a little bit. I understand a little bit. I wonder if you, my little friend, can see the flaw in this game?"
Zhongtu snorted coldly. His temper had always been cunning and eccentric, and it was precisely because of this that he had taught a group of formation lunatics.
But it has to be said that this person's understanding of formations is unparalleled.
even!!
Some powerful people once said that once Zhongtu reaches the supreme level of heaven, he will be invincible in this world.
Side paths are originally obscure and difficult to understand, but once they are mastered, they will have a world of their own.
Throughout the history of Qingcang, there was once a sage from the human race who stood at the top of the formation, overwhelming all races, and was respected by the world as...the formation emperor.
It is said that this person can control three thousand emperors with one hand and be invincible to ten thousand emperors.
Of course, the rumors may be a bit exaggerated, but it can also be seen how glorious this formation will be when it reaches its peak!
"In my opinion, this son should be here."
Ling Xiao smiled gently, picked up a piece with his fingers, and dropped it on the plate.
For a moment, I saw that on the chessboard, Yin and Yang were intertwined, and all the ways were flourishing.
There is a resurgence of order in the avenue, and people can vaguely see thousands of armies fighting, and immortals and gods fighting together.
Even Li Zhichu's face turned pale at this time and his steps staggered.
At this time, she seemed to see that the chess game in front of her was no longer a chess game, and that the two colors of black and white also divided the yin and yang, the universe.
The dragon walks in the sea, the tiger leaps over the green mountains.
The big phoenix flaps its wings and flies ninety thousand miles into the sky, unstoppable by the blue sky.
The chess game that was originally like a pool of stagnant water suddenly experienced endless ups and downs. Every piece seemed to be alive, opening and closing vertically and horizontally, and fighting in the world.
In my ears, there was a big Lu Huang bell ringing loudly.
The entire formation fell into an inexplicable deathly silence.
Immediately afterwards, figures emerged from the mountains one after another, looking towards the top of the mountain with shocked expressions.
I saw that at this time, in the blue sky thousands of miles away, the rhyme of the road was repeated one after another, and the sound of thunder continued.
It was as if Ling Xiao dropped the child casually, causing heaven and earth to tremble together.
Zhongtu frowned and looked surprised.
He practiced the formation method, but his chess skills were unparalleled, and he claimed that no one could surpass Qingcang in this way.
But at this moment, looking at the young man sitting quietly in front of him with an indifferent expression, he actually felt a kind of fear, a kind of... fear of talent.
The ancient monument of Daotian does not inherit its power.
The shadows left on the phantom wall are hard to shake.
With the three-foot green blade in my hand, I can defeat all enemies in the world.
None of the six great demon heroes can be his enemy with a single sword.
Exactly!!
He said he knew a little bit about chess, but he could actually cause such a strange phenomenon to come from the sky.
How could there be such a monstrous young man in this world?!
Is the Ling Clan's hundred thousand years of accumulation really going to prosper... in this world?
"senior?"
Ling Xiao smiled, his eyes bright, not at all disturbed by the sight in front of him.
These old guys always like to use chess skills to test their talent and character. Little do they know that although he does not know this way, he still regards the common people as his son and the heaven and earth as his chessboard. How can this little bamboo plate be the shackles?
"A good one... understands a little bit."
Zhongtu sighed leisurely and nodded lightly, "I see that my little friend is extremely talented and is a supreme immortal in cultivating formations. How about this..."
Suddenly, Zhongtu's face turned solemn, "I will take over your apprenticeship on behalf of my ancestors and make you your disciple. When you have achieved great success in the formation, how about I give you the position of the leader of the formation?"
"What?!"
Hearing this, Ling Xiao's expression did not change much, but Li Zhichu's beautiful eyes suddenly widened.
Giving up the position of the hospital master to someone else?!
As expected of you, Uncle Zhong!
This was the first time she had heard of this generation of masters accepting disciples, but it could also be seen from this that the formation master recognized Ling Xiao from the bottom of his heart.
"The master of the hospital is serious. The junior's talent is mediocre, but he was lucky enough to get the right son. How can he take on such an important responsibility, let alone..."
A trace of vicissitudes of life suddenly appeared in Ling Xiao's eyes, and his face was inexplicably heavy, "How can Ling Xiao dare to covet stability before the demon is eliminated? My way... is in the human world, not the holy land."
"this…"
Rao Zhongtu's heart was at this time frightened by the brilliance emanating from Ling Xiao.
When the Human Emperor is in this world, his reputation is definitely not wasted!!
"Forget it, why don't you and I play a game of chess? If I win, you will be the guest of my court."
"oh?"
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows lightly. Guests of the Array Courtyard can enjoy the resources of the Array Courtyard. This old guy has a unique way of winning over people.
"What if I win?"
"If you win, I will give you an ancient formation."
Zhong Tu's expression was indifferent. Even though Ling Xiao's talent was terrifying and unprecedented, he still didn't believe that a young man could beat him in the chess game he had been immersed in for thousands of years.
"I don't want the formation. If I win, I will ask Ning Chuan to follow me down the mountain, kill evil spirits, suppress demons, and bring peace to the world."
Ling Xiao's indifferent words made Zhongtu's expression suddenly change. He was silent for a long time, and then nodded gently, "Okay! It's up to you."
"Buzz!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his big hand and cleared the chessboard in front of him, and a look of solemnity appeared on his old face.
It was obvious that in his eyes, Ling Xiao was regarded as a real opponent, regardless of age!
